Founded to provide a dedicated platform for global designers, manufacturers, and artisans, ICFF has become a vital meeting point for the design community, presenting the latest in furniture, seating, lighting, wallcoverings, carpets, and accessories. Its core mission is to champion original, well-crafted design and to foster connections between makers, retailers, specifiers, and the press.
Opportunities
3 listedApplication guidance
Exhibitors typically apply for booth space through the ICFF website, with applications opening several months before the May fair. While the fair is open to designers at various career stages, acceptance is competitive and favors work that is production-ready, innovative, and aligned with current market trends. Emerging designers may find opportunities through ICFF's curated sections or group exhibits, such as the former 'Studio' area. It is advisable to prepare a cohesive portfolio, clear pricing, and a strong visual presentation. Note that participation involves significant costs for booth space, travel, and setup, so a solid business plan is essential.
